Covers 9 Mar 2016 to 11 Sep 2026 — Parliament’s votes data doesn’t go back further. “No vote recorded” is Parliament’s own list of members with nothing recorded for that division: it can mean absent, deliberately abstaining, paired, or excused, and the data doesn’t say which.

Written questions to government

No written questions on file for Mr Toby Perkins yet — this only covers what Hear, Hear has fetched so far (see Written questions), not necessarily every question Mr Toby Perkins has ever tabled.

Business costs (IPSA)

£327,155.44 paid out to or for Mr Toby Perkins across 225 claims — combining every financial year on file, not just the current one — covering office costs, accommodation, travel, and bought-in/temporary staffing. This does not include Mr Toby Perkins’s permanent staff’s salaries — typically the biggest single share of an MP’s real costs — which IPSA only publishes once a year, after the year closes, as one aggregate figure, never as individual claims. Some categories (especially travel) are reported by IPSA as one whole-year total rather than itemised by date — marked “Aggregated” below. See MP expenses to filter this to a single year.

By category
Staffing — £229,540.85 (2 claims)
Office Costs — £45,315.22 (168 claims)

Early Day Motions

No Early Day Motions on file as tabled by Mr Toby Perkins — this only covers motions tabled within Hear, Hear’s current tracking window (see Early Day Motions), not necessarily Mr Toby Perkins’s full record.

All-Party Parliamentary Groups

Mr Toby Perkins is a listed officer of 3 All-Party Parliamentary Groups on file. See APPGs for the full register and the biggest funders overall.

All-Party Parliamentary Group for Turnaround and Business Improvement — Officer

All-Party Parliamentary Group on Apprenticeships — Chair & Registered Contact

Connect Public Affairs — about £56,250.50, 1 group
The Institute for Turnaround — about £21,750.50, 1 group
Lawn Tennis Association — about £2,250.50, 1 group

Read this carefully: funding is declared by the group (often to pay for a secretariat that runs it), not paid to Mr Toby Perkins personally, and declaring it is a legal requirement rather than a sign of wrongdoing. This only covers groups Mr Toby Perkins is a listed officer of — ordinary members aren’t published. Amounts are Parliament’s own figures; where it gave a banded range the midpoint is used, so totals are approximate. Funders are grouped by name, so the same organisation spelled very differently may appear twice.
